After the firefight that was the previous day, vote counts have dipped back to normal. Part two of the Kirame-Oda Nobuna duel ends in victory for the lone remaining Shindouji entrant, setting up another direct clash between the two titanic factions in the next round. Azusa and Yuu had easy victories. Niko-Niko-Nii takes second over Mako after a hard fight, and Fate now has to wait in the relegation pool as well as the last of the lyrical power trio is off the board. Shirakiin finishes behind a Matsumi sister for the second consecutive year (Kuro last year, Yuu this year).
Kuro once again follows Yuu’s lead, but this time around Kud can potentially knock out the dragon lord and grab the B third quarter fight. With a near-miss in the first round, the Captain also has to tread carefully and gather Kuro’s support if she wants to defeat Kyouko S. in the first direct confrontation between teams Saki and Madoka. The Block A fight doesn’t have a standout fighter. Student Council President Eri is in the lower third of the μ’s hierarchy and will have lots of trouble keeping up with Emi’s swordsplay and Yui’s bubbliness. Emilia seems to have a better shot of advancing though.
The Service Club’s two females are obviously the leaders, with the genki Yui ahead of the icy Yukinon. The only other qualifier is Hachiman’s younger sister Komachi. Others who did not make the final draw included Yukino’s older sister Haruno, Shizuka-sensei, and 2-F classmates Saki and Yumiko.
